Campus – Empathy
Campus – Empathy CD (Small Town Records)
Belgian five piece who’ve been going for ages and probably have beards (you know the type of band/music I mean), pretty catchy and heavy with the first song ‘Empathy’ leading the way into the rest of the CD i.e. empathy pt 2, empathy pt 3 etc. there’s nothing wrong with what they do it’s just that I find bands like this very hard to listen or get excited about as they all sound/look/pull poses/jump around stage/have same gear etc. They do sound miles better than the hundreds of ‘beardy bands’ you see in Rocksound and on those annoying ‘Now that’s what I call beardy music Vol. 50’ free CD they give away, but its Nah, if I want beards I’ll listen to ZZ Top or the mighty much missed Dukes of Nothing. P.S. Major apology, I’ve just googled Campus and there’s not a beard in sight but very fetching Vidal Sassoon quiffs. Still boring mind. Dai Joseph
